This guy didn't include Sessions, Lee and Nate into the equation. If we sign Sessions, Lee and Nate without getting rid of Jeffries or Curry we're screwed. Won't even be able to get 1 max contract.
I don't think getting rid of Jeffries will be much of a problem. Getting rid of Curry too would be monumental and easily allow us to keep the above players and still get 2 max free agents. I hope that fat-ass gets moved by the trade deadline.

How Much Cap Space Knicks Will Have In 2010
The Knicks have been extremely patient in their negotiations this summer with free agents such as David Lee, Ramon Sessions and Nate Robinson. Because of the projected decline of the salary cap, there will be very little margin of error if the Knicks intend to sign more than one high priced free agent in 2010.
Using the current cap of $57.7M (Same Cap), as well as the High Cap ($53.6M) and Low cap ($50.4M) figures, which are based on the 2% to 5% decline, respectively, in BRI that is projected by the NBA league office, we can estimate precisely how much cap space will be available for the Knicks in 2010.
2010 Knicks? Salary Cap Room (as of projected roster from August 18, 2009)
Cap Room: $20.22M (Low Cap), $23.42M (High Cap), $27.52M (Same Cap)
Available Cap Room After One Max Contract: $4.13M (Low Cap), $7.33M (High Cap), $11.43M (Same Cap)
Also note that if the cap does NOT decline next summer, and stays at this season?s level (Same Cap), the Knicks would have room to offer a second max contract ONLY IF the team rids itself of Jared Jeffries. Even if the cap declines just 2%, a second max contract would not be possible.
2010 Knicks? Salary Cap Room if contract of Jared Jeffries is removed
Cap Room: $26.63M (Low Cap), $29.83M (High Cap), $33.93M (Same Cap)
Cap Room After One Max Contract: $10.54M (Low Cap), $13.74M (High Cap), $17.84M (Same Cap)
